Great day yesterday, up 8 buyins on 5K hands. I had quads paid off (wow!). And I ran well, despite paying off quads and a better full-house (set-over-set) myself.

During the day I blew past 100K hands for the qwest, so that was definitely nice. Barring any events that would cause an interruption in play, I will easily hit silver status on Stars (FPPs). So in the next little bit I can count on the $50 bonus as I go past 5000 FPPs.

Stars does not have rakeback, but really, the game selection is just so incredible. Most other sites, like UB for example, have maybe 10 shorthand games going, whereas Stars has probably 50 or more.

One thing that is interesting is that I play during the Euro day, so I am seemingly up against a lot of (drunk?) Australians. I got on one table yesterday, and this one guy had stats of 100/0, and his aggression by streets was 11/60/71. I don't usually like to get it all-in pre-flop with JJs, but I did, and even though an A fell on the turn, I tripled up as both callers had complete junk.
